Everything about this photo is stellar: the composition, the mood, the use of selective coloring, the soft focus, the bokeh, the frame and the way the flower extends beyond it…I can’t say enough about it!

I’m enjoying this photo so much, because it is a beautiful, unique look at something we’ve all seen before. You didn’t just make the photo b/w and retain color in the flower. There is still a hint of color in the flesh of the hand and a beautiful effect on the flower, and lets not forget the OOB. This is lovely–fantastic.
